If you’ve ever dropped near the Bimasakti area and found yourself getting picked off by a sniper you couldn’t see, there’s a good chance that player was perched on top of Bimasakti Tower. This massive concrete structure is one of the most underrated power positions on the classic Free Fire map, giving anyone who reaches the top a clear view of 400+ meters of surrounding terrain. Learning how to climb Bimasakti Tower in Free Fire is one of the most high-impact, low-effort tricks you can add to your skill set, even if you’re a fairly new player. The path up isn’t obvious at first glance, and one wrong move can send you tumbling all the way to the ground, but this guide breaks down every step to help you nail the climb every time.
Pre-Climb Preparations to Avoid Getting Caught Off Guard
You don’t need any special items or character skills to climb the tower, but a little prep before you start jumping will keep you from getting eliminated before you even reach the top. First, clear the surrounding area first before you approach the tower base. A lot of players camp the small houses right next to the tower specifically to catch people mid-climb, when they can’t fight back or move out of the way of shots. Take 30 seconds to check the corners of nearby buildings and listen for footsteps before you start your ascent.
Next, grab at least a green vest and a close-range weapon before you start climbing. You won’t be able to use long-range guns while you’re jumping between ledges, but a shotgun or SMG will let you take out anyone who tries to rush you while you’re halfway up the structure. You don’t need level 3 gear at this point, just enough protection to survive a couple of shots if someone spots you.
Finally, skip the climb if the zone is already closing in. The full climb takes around 20 seconds for experienced players, but if you’re trying it for the first time, you might take closer to a minute. You don’t want to get stuck halfway up when the zone starts dealing damage, and you definitely don’t want to have to abandon your climb and run for safety with enemies watching from nearby. If the first zone is pulling away from Bimasakti, save this trick for a later match when you drop closer to the structure.
How to Climb Bimasakti Tower in Free Fire Without Falling
The only usable path up the tower is on the north-facing side, so make your way to that edge first. You’ll see a series of small, sloped concrete ledges running up the side of the structure, and those are the only spots you can land on without slipping off. Start by standing directly in front of the lowest ledge, with your joystick tilted slightly forward. Tap and hold the jump button for half a second to land on the first ledge – don’t tilt the joystick all the way forward, or you’ll overshoot the edge and fall right back down.
Once you’re on the first ledge, work your way up one jump at a time. The ledges get narrower as you get higher, so take a half-second pause between each jump to line up your next move. Don’t sprint while you’re jumping between ledges – sprinting makes your jump distance longer, and you’ll slip right off the small edges almost every time. If you miss a jump and end up hanging off the edge of a ledge, don’t panic: tilt your joystick forward and tap jump once to pull yourself up, instead of letting go and falling all the way down.
Halfway up the tower, you’ll hit a flat, wide platform that you can stand on safely. Use this spot to catch your breath, check if any enemies are following you up, or heal if you took minor fall damage on the way up. From this platform, the final set of ledges leads straight to the top of the tower. For the last jump to the top platform, hold the jump button for a full second to get enough height, and make sure you’re lined up dead center with the top edge. If you mess up this final jump, you can fall all the way back to the halfway platform, so take your time with it.
If you’re playing a character with a mobility skill, like Wukong’s cloud ride or Hayato’s dash, you can use it to skip a couple of jumps if you’re in a hurry, but it’s not necessary. Most players can nail the full climb with no skills at all after 2 or 3 practice runs.
Best Ways to Use Bimasakti Tower to Win More Matches
Once you’re on the top of the tower, you have a massive advantage over every player in the surrounding area. First, prioritize looting the rare supply crates that spawn on the top first – these crates almost always have high-tier gear, including level 3 armor, AWM sniper rifles, and plenty of ammo and healing items. You can get fully kitted out in 10 seconds on top of the tower, instead of spending 5 minutes searching nearby houses for basic gear.
After you’re looted, you can use the tower’s 360-degree view to track enemy movements and pick off rotating players before they even know you’re there. If you have a 4x or 8x scope, you can hit players on the main road 300 meters away, and they’ll have a hard time shooting back because you’re so high up. There’s a low concrete wall on the west side of the top platform that you can hide behind to reload or heal if someone starts shooting back at you.
Holding Bimasakti Tower gives you a long list of advantages that can help you secure a Booyah even if you’re playing against more experienced squads:
- Unobstructed 400m view of all nearby rotation paths, so you can track enemy movements before they get close to your squad
- Guaranteed high-tier loot spawns on the top level, cutting down the time you spend searching houses for gear
- Height advantage that makes it almost impossible for enemies on the ground to land headshots on you, even if they know where you are
- Perfect spot to place a gloo wall at the edge if you want to resupply or heal without being seen by passing players
If you’re playing with a squad, send one player up first to secure the top, then have the rest of the team climb up after. You can have two players watching different directions from the top, while the other two loot the surrounding houses for extra supplies. Just make sure you have at least one player watching the climb path so no enemies sneak up on you while you’re focused on sniping.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Climbing Bimasakti Tower
Even experienced players make silly mistakes when climbing the tower that get them eliminated unnecessarily. The most common mistake is trying to climb the wrong side of the tower. The south and east sides of the structure have no usable ledges, so you’ll just slide right off no matter how many times you jump, wasting time and making yourself an easy target for nearby enemies. Always head to the north side first before you start jumping.
Another big mistake is rushing the jumps to get to the top faster. I’ve seen dozens of players sprint through the climb, miss a ledge, fall all the way down, and either die from fall damage or get shot by enemies waiting below. The climb only takes 20 seconds if you take it slow, so there’s no reason to rush. It’s way better to take an extra 10 seconds and reach the top safely, than to rush and end up eliminated before you can use the advantage.
Never stay in one spot on the top platform for more than 30 seconds at a time. Once players hear your sniper shots or see your name pop up on the kill feed, they’ll know exactly where you are, and they can throw grenades or use rocket launchers to take you out easily. Move between the small walls on the top platform regularly, and don’t stand out in the open for too long. If you see multiple squads converging on the tower, it’s probably a good idea to climb down and rotate to a safer spot instead of trying to hold it against too many enemies.
Finally, don’t jump off the top of the tower without a surfboard or a character skill that reduces fall damage. Even with a level 3 vest, you’ll take around 80% of your health in fall damage if you jump straight down to the ground. If you need to leave the tower fast, climb back down the same ledge path you used to go up, or use a surfboard to glide safely to the ground.
Once you get the hang of the jump timing, learning how to climb Bimasakti Tower in Free Fire takes less time than looting a single house, and it’s one of the most reliable tricks to get an early advantage in any match. I make climbing this tower my first stop whenever I drop in the Bimasakti area, and it’s helped me get more Booyahs than almost any other map trick I’ve learned. Don’t get frustrated if you fall a couple of times on your first few tries – once you memorize the ledge positions, you’ll be able to nail the climb every single time, even when you’re under pressure from nearby enemies.
